Paul the Psychic Octopus Chooses Spain as World Cup Winner!
I thought Paul only exercised his powers with Germany matches, but with his popularity at an all-time high (except in Germany), I guess his caretakers decided to give him an extra mussel to improve their odds to make it on the news again (Spanish TV channel Cuatro went live from Oberhausen for Paul’s feeding time).
And Paul chose Spain with commendable speed.
The question is… Paul has a 100% accuracy record in predicting matches where Germany plays, but not World Cup finals where Germany isn’t playing, so… do we believe him? Don’t we?
He also chose Germany to win the third-place match against Uruguay, in case anyone’s interested.
(for the record, today I’m wearing octopi earrings and an octopus hair-shelot in Paul’s honour…)
Also, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi and David Villa are candidates for this World Cup’s Best Player award, along with Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Mezut Özil, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Diego Forlán, Lionel Messi and Asamoh Gyan… who would you choose?
